Buying XRP in the United States: common questions
What is the cheapest way to buy XRP in the United States?
It depends on how you pay. A bank transfer is almost always cheaper than a debit or credit card, because the card fee is charged on top of the trading fee and the spread. We rank exchanges by the XRP that actually lands in your account for a USD 1,000 buy, so the ranking already accounts for the deposit fee, the taker fee and the exchange's spread rather than the advertised price.
How much does it really cost to buy XRP?
Three charges stack: the deposit or card fee on the way in, the exchange's trading fee, and the spread between the price you see and the price you get. Two exchanges quoting the same XRP price can differ by several percent once all three are counted, which is why every comparison on this site is expressed as XRP received rather than as a fee percentage.
Do I need an account on this site to compare prices?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and no data to hand over. You compare here and finish the purchase on the exchange you choose, where your account and your keys stay yours. Some exchange links are affiliate links, which fund the site and never change the ranking.
Is XRP the same thing as Ripple?
No. XRP is the digital asset native to the XRP Ledger, an open network that would keep running with no company behind it. Ripple is a private company that builds payment products which use XRP and holds a large amount of it. The two names are used interchangeably in the press, but they are not the same entity.
Can you stake XRP?
Not at the protocol level. The XRP Ledger has no staking mechanism, no inflation and no validator rewards, so there is no native yield. Products advertising XRP staking are lending, market-making or reward schemes run by a company, and they carry that company's credit risk.
Why is there a minimum XRP balance in a wallet?
Every account on the XRP Ledger has to hold a small base reserve, and a little more for each object it owns such as a trust line or an offer. The reserve exists to stop the ledger being spammed with empty accounts. It is not a fee, it stays in your account, but it cannot be sent away, so plan on funding a new wallet with slightly more than you intend to hold. Check xrpl.org for the current reserve amount.
Where does the fee on an XRP transaction go?
Nowhere. The transaction cost is destroyed rather than paid to a miner or validator, which slowly reduces total supply. The cost also scales up automatically when the network is busy, which makes spamming the ledger expensive.
